This is a soul-stirring interrogation.
The screams echoing in their ears were deeply unsettling.
But everyone knew what would happen if they tried to save them!
Those two survivors...
Were not that Bai Ye couldn't kill them, but were intentionally left alive!
Bang!
The gunshots rang out again, and the four hiding instantly felt their hearts freeze for half a second, then, as expected, the screams sounded once more.
A woman peeked her head from the side.
The next moment, the man lying in a pool of blood seemed to have grasped a lifeline, his body constantly shifting, reaching out towards the woman.
"Save me, save me, please, save me..."
The woman showed a look of unbearable pain, but just as she was about to rise, her shoulder was grabbed by a burly man beside her.
The burly man shook his head at the woman. They didn't know Bai Ye's position; standing up now would be suicide.
However, the woman's emotions seemed to be breaking down. She said angrily, "This guy is a devil, a scoundrel, a madman. He's doing this deliberately. He could have killed them, but he didn't. He's deliberately torturing them, and he's deliberately torturing us."
After her furious roar, the woman suddenly stood up from behind the slope and casually reached out in one direction, saying, "Air Wave!"
A faint, almost transparent sphere suddenly appeared, smashing into the woods and hitting a large tree, instantly snapping it. Its power seemed considerable.
"A pity..." Bai Ye said with a smile, "Wrong direction!"
Bang!
Bai Ye pulled the trigger again, but due to the woman's hysterical movements, Bai Ye's shot only hit her shoulder blade.
The woman screamed and clutched her shoulder.
The burly man from before quickly reached out, trying to pull her back, but...
Bang!
The gunshot sounded again. This time, Bai Ye accurately hit the woman's head. A large amount of blood sprayed out, splashing all over the burly man's face.
The burly man stared blankly for a moment, looking at the woman's corpse, and roared in anger, "Scoundrel, scoundrel, scoundrel!"
The other two also fell silent, turning their heads away, unable to bear to look at the corpse.
Bai Ye re-aimed and murmured, "Angry? In pain? Want to kill me? Then come out. How can you kill me if you don't come out?"
After Bai Ye finished speaking, he pulled the trigger again.
Bang!
The bullet hit the man's back in the pool of blood, and the man screamed again.
However, the scream was noticeably weaker than before. Due to excessive blood loss, the two men were barely breathing, extremely weak, and even moaning was a luxury.
But this made the three survivors feel even more pain.
They were watching someone being shot dead, one shot after another!
"Scoundrel, scoundrel, scoundrel..." The burly man angrily pounded the ground and then shouted, "If you have the guts, come out and fight us! What kind of coward hides and peeks?"
Bang!
The gunshots that followed responded to the burly man's roar, but Bai Ye's shot once again hit the man in the pool of blood.
That man no longer had the strength to even cry out. Only his twitching body proved he was still alive.
"I can't stand it anymore!"
One man roared, suddenly leaping from the hillside. He moved in a serpentine pattern, rushing towards his two companions, trying to pull them into the blind spot of the slope.
But...
"That's right. Vent your anger, and then..." Bai Ye pulled the trigger and said, "Say hello to King Yama for me!"
Bang!
The moment Bai Ye pulled the trigger, the gunshot sounded again.
As the man reached the pool of blood and grabbed his companions' arms, blood splattered from his head as he fell to the side.
"To the left!" The burly man's eyes widened, and he suddenly shouted. He leaped out from behind the hillside, jumping onto the slope and saying, "He's to the left!"
The remaining two leaped onto the slope and entered the forest, then ran quickly.
Bai Ye observed the two through the scope. He had to admit, they were quite seasoned. They moved erratically, and with the cover of the dense trees in the forest, it wasn't easy for Bai Ye to hit them.
Of course, Bai Ye still held the advantage. If one shot wasn't enough, he'd take two; if two weren't enough, he'd take three...
Bai Ye had the geographical advantage and plenty of opportunities to shoot. The opponents, on the other hand, would be finished if Bai Ye hit them even once. Moreover, they had only confirmed Bai Ye's general direction, not his precise location. After all, the 'Death Strike' had a camouflage effect, making it difficult to pinpoint Bai Ye.
However, Bai Ye suddenly straightened up, then began to dismantle the scope, loosened the strap, and leisurely put the gun back into its case, jumping down from the tree.
Having lost the camouflage effect of the 'Death Strike,' Bai Ye was immediately exposed to the two. The burly man, being slightly further away, adjusted his direction immediately and charged towards Bai Ye. As for the other man, he was precisely running in Bai Ye's direction.
"Bestialize!"
The opponent didn't hesitate. He roared, and fur suddenly grew on his body, his fingernails continuously transforming into beastly claws. His speed also drastically increased, and he sprinted towards Bai Ye.
At a distance of about three and a half meters, the man suddenly leaped up, raising his claws.
Bai Ye, however, held the gun case and stood motionless under the tree, as if stunned.
Then...
As the opponent descended...
Puff!
A gleam of silver suddenly appeared from the side, piercing the man's throat and exploding in a mist of blood in mid-air.
The man's eyes widened, and he fell from the air, his eyes glaring in anger. He never understood what happened until his death, while the Frostfall Sword flew back to Bai Ye's side, hovering beside him.
Bai Ye put down the gun case, drew his serrated blade, and looked at the last burly man.
Bang!
Bai Ye exerted force with both legs, surging forward. He held the serrated blade horizontally. The vibrating blade, upon touching the surrounding trees, easily severed them, causing large trees to fall one after another.
The last burly man's heart leaped. He quickly stopped, took out three bamboo tube-like objects from his waist pouch, and threw them out.
"Floating Puppets, attack!"
The three bamboo tubes were indeed puppets painted with human faces. Upon receiving the command, they flew directly towards Bai Ye. One could see that the edges on both sides of the bamboo tubes were inlaid with a circle of densely packed small blades.
Then...
Bai Ye swung his blade fiercely. The serrated blade flashed silver in the air, easily cutting the three floating puppets in half. Following that, Bai Ye leaped up and appeared in front of the burly man.
